Chapter 25: Roll, Jade King is the real absolute beauty

  He Lian Jing Xuan's movements were swift, but sufficient for Yun Mo to kick him flying! However, the opponent was after all the noble King of Xiang, and had just undergone a craniotomy. If he really kicked him out, being beheaded would be too light a punishment! Thus, after a slight hesitation, He Lian Jing Xuan was enveloped in Ruyan Wenxiang's warm and fragrant embrace.

  Gazing coldly at He Lian Jing Xuan's face, Yun Mo Chen remained motionless: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

  "Don't you really understand?" A faint warmth rose in He Lianjing's eyes, "The Emperor has already betrothed you to me, I am your husband! If so, shouldn't you serve me?"

  Yun Mo coldly smiled: "Your Highness has not yet recovered, and should prioritize rest above all else. Don't be greedy for a moment's pleasure and leave behind a lifetime of regret. Please let go, Your Highness."

  "This king will not let you go! What qualifications do you have to order this king?" He Lian Jing Xuan was annoyed at Yun Mo Yan's indifference, and even more annoyed that she didn't take him seriously, he was getting slightly anxious, "Yun Mo Yan, this king wants you to attend to his bed!"

  In the dark, he gritted his teeth, and with a fierce effort, He Lian Qing tore off the cloud-inked clothes, urgent and passionate!

  "Your Highness!" Yun Mo Ye suppressed the urge to snap his neck, instead grabbing his hand, with icy glints flashing in his eyes. "If Your Highness truly wishes for Mo Ye to serve you in bed, why not first remove the mask from Mo Ye's face?"

  "He Lian Jing Xuan was taken aback: "What did you say? Mask?"

  "Yes." Yun Mo's eyes gleamed with cold amusement as he stared at He Lian Jing Xuan, "Since Your Highness claims to be my husband, then please remove this mask and let me serve you properly!"

  He Lian Jing Xuan's movements stopped instantly. He had seen Yun Mo Ran's true face before, especially the huge black birthmark on his left cheek that made people feel nauseous! If he really took off the mask...

  He saw his hesitation, Yun Mo dyed silent cold smile, pushed He Lian Qing to one side, and jumped down: "Your Highness rest well, Mo dye bid farewell!"

  Looking at Yun Mo Yan's disappearing back, He Lian Xing slowly sat up straight, his eyes hidden with anger: Dare to laugh at the king for being a superficial person who judges by appearance? Yun Mo Yan, the king will never let you go, and must make you his concubine!

  Returning to the Yunlai Pavilion with a heart full of annoyance, Yun Mo dyed and scrubbed herself in the bathtub for a long time, until she was certain that there was no longer any scent of He Lian Xiang on her body. Only then did she touch her flawless white jade face and smile coldly: Xiang Wang, you won't be the first man to see my true appearance, absolutely not! You're not qualified!

  The next morning, Yun Mo had just finished breakfast when Dong Huai knocked on the door again: "Seventh Miss, the king has summoned you."

  Upon arriving at the Cloud Scroll Pavilion, Yun Mo's gaze swept across the room, and apart from Cloud White Jade and Cloud Su Yao, she noticed a middle-aged man with his hands clasped behind his back and nose pointed towards the sky, sizing her up with an air of arrogance. After a brief moment, he cleared his throat and spoke: "So you're Miss Seventh of the Yun family?"

  Yun Mo's eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Which esteemed guest?"

  "Xiao Qi, this is Qiu Hai, Master Qiu. Cloud White Jade stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master Qiu specializes in making wedding dresses for the princes and princesses, known as Golden Fingers, his craftsmanship is extremely skilled, absolutely the number one person in Red Phoenix Country!"

  Isn't it just a tailor? Yun Mo's eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "What does this have to do with me?"

  Seeing Qi Hai's unpleasant expression, Yun Baiyu hastily explained with a smile: "Xiaoqi, Autumn Master is here to take your measurements on the orders of King Xiang, in order to rush and make your wedding dress..."

  Xiang Wang? He Lian Jing Xiao, have you made up your mind to marry me? Aren't you afraid that on the night of our grand wedding, you'll throw up when facing this face of mine?

  "It's unnecessary," Yun Mo said with a shake of her head, speaking lightly. "I won't be marrying the King of Xiang, no need for any wedding dress, please return, Master Qiu."

  "Hmph!" Autumn Hai proudly said, looking at Yun Mo with a slanted gaze, "Seventh Miss, it's your good fortune to be able to marry the King of Xiang. Don't you know how many talented and beautiful women are eagerly vying for the position of Queen? Besides, if the King of Xiang hadn't given me an order, I wouldn't have made this trip, lest I tarnish my golden signboard!"

  "It's true!" Yun Baike chimed in, "An ugly person is still an ugly person. Even if they wear a wedding dress made of gold, they can't become a beauty. What a waste of good material!"

  "Is that so?" Yun Mo's gaze turned even colder, and he sneered, "Then go back and tell Xiang Wang that this kind of thing that looks down on people with dog eyes is not worthy of making a wedding dress for me, get out!"

  "You... you dare to scold me?" Qiu Hai's body shook with rage, his finger trembling as he pointed at Yun Mo Yan. "With the three words 'Golden Finger', any master of the palace will give me some face, and you, this ugly freak, actually dare to scold me? You haven't even become the Princess of Xiang yet, what are you being so arrogant about?"

  "Is 'ugly freak' what you're cursing me with?" Yun Mo's eyes rolled, and he suddenly apologized sincerely: "Sorry, I was wrong. For someone like you, I shouldn't have cursed at you."

  "Consider yourself lucky!" Qiu Hai said with a pleased hum, "I'm telling you..."

  "I shouldn't waste my breath scolding you," Yun Mo Ran sneered coldly, and with a fierce kick, he sent Qiu Hai flying out. "I should have just given you a slap that would make your face bloom with peach flowers!"

  "Ah!"

  Qiu Hai let out a loud cry, fell to the ground with a thud, and immediately flew into a rage. He scrambled to his feet, shouting: "Yun Mo Ran! You ugly freak! How dare you hit me? Just wait till I tell His Majesty Xiang Wang about this, he'll...

  Yun Mo didn't waste any words, his right hand brushed out a stroke, and a faint golden light flashed across Qiu Hai's cheek and shot past, nailing itself to the pillar at the door. Qiu Hai let out a loud cry, and only when he reached up to touch his face did he discover that his cheek had been slashed open, with fresh blood flowing freely!

  He turned back in surprise and found that it was actually a golden phoenix tail feather shaped hidden weapon, small and delicate, exceptionally exquisite!

  "...You..." was brought back to his senses by the severe pain in his cheek, and Akihito scrambled out while rolling and crawling, "Wait for me! The King of So will not let you go..."

  Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Yun Yu Lang stepped forward and pulled out the golden phoenix feather, handing it to Yun Mo Ran: "What a beautiful hidden weapon, did you make it yourself? Little Seventh, when did you learn how to use hidden weapons? And your technique is top-notch..."

  As the number one mercenary, throwing a hidden weapon shouldn't be as easy as turning over one's hand?

  Yun Mo took over Jin Fengyu and didn't plan to say much: "It's just a way to pass the time when I'm extremely bored, what's there to discuss about techniques."

  Yun Yu Lang smiled slightly, her eyes deep in thought: "Xiao Qi, now that the King of Xiang wants to marry you is no longer just for good luck, why are you still unwilling to marry?"

  "Affected!" Yunlan hummed, extremely jealous, "I really didn't expect King Xiang to still be willing to marry you now, you're truly lucky!"

  "Who says it's not!" Yun Baike's jealousy was no less than anyone else's, "Xiang Wang is the most powerful contender for the throne, who wouldn't want to marry him? If it weren't for his serious illness, I would have..."

  "It's strange that he has already recovered, why does he still want to marry Xiao Qi?" Yun Lanyue furrowed her brow, "Which one of us doesn't have more qualifications than Xiao Qi to be the princess consort of Xiang Wang?"

  Yun Su Yao pretended to be deep and calm, coldly laughing as she said: "What can you do if it's not fair? The Prince of Xiang specifically wants Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi, the Prince of Xiang is handsome and extraordinary, and it's highly likely that he'll become the Crown Prince. If you can become his consort, it would also be a glory for the An Guo Gong Fu..."

  "Really!" Yun Lanyue sneered, her face full of mockery. "Do you still hope to become the official wife? Don't you think that Xiang Wang, such a handsome person, would marry an ugly freak like you as his official wife..."

  Yun Baike waved her hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright! Don't say anymore! I think Xiao Qi is just being pretentious. She's lucky to be marrying the future prince, she'd laugh in her sleep..."

  The words of the crowd finally forced out Yun Mo Yan's cold smile. Her eyes narrowed, and she said calmly: "What's the use of being exceptionally handsome? Yu Wang is truly a stunning beauty! With such breathtaking elegance before our eyes, who dares to be arrogant about their looks?"

  Everyone was stunned at this remark, and no one expected her to say such a thing! Yun Yulang's gaze was particularly strange, as if thinking of something...

  "Ah! I get it!" In the midst of silence, Yun Su Yao suddenly spoke up, her tone sarcastic. "You insisted on not marrying Xiang Wang, and it's actually because of Nineteenth Imperial Uncle... Haha! It's laughable! Someone as ugly as you dares to think about becoming Yu Wang Fei? Do you know how many princesses from the four countries of Chi Feng, Man Tuo, Xue Chu, and Meng Yu are fighting for that position? Even if it takes a thousand years, it still wouldn't be your turn!"

  "Hahaha...... it's really hilarious......"

  "It's... a toad wanting to eat swan meat..."

  "If Nineteen Uncle were to know about it, he would definitely take it as the most ridiculous joke in the world..."

  "Nonsense! He doesn't even bother listening..."

  After the crowd's jeers subsided, Yun Mo Yan smiled calmly and shook his head: "I'm just stating a simple fact, and letting you know that after witnessing Jade King's stunning beauty and extraordinary elegance, at least being handsome and possibly becoming the crown prince cannot be reasons for me to marry Xiang Wang."

  Throwing down a few words, Yun Mo dyed turned around and wanted to leave. Yun Yu Lang opened his mouth in time: "Xiao Qi! How did you explain it to King Xiang?"

  "Wait for an opportunity." Yun Mo said a few words, "I will find an opportunity to make the King of Xiang take the initiative to divorce."

  Just then, a guard rushed in and reported with his fists clenched: "Reporting to Your Highness! The fourth young master of the Xiao family requests an audience!"

  Xiao Family, a century-old family on the mainland of Yan, has a history much longer than that of the founding of Chifeng Country. Although the current head of the Xiao Family is still Xiao Yuan Chu, most of the power has long been handed over to the eldest son, Xiao Feng Ya. Therefore, Xiao Feng Ya is now the number one official merchant, the richest man in Li Jing City, and also the number one figure in Chifeng Country.

  Xiao family's fourth young master is Xiao Fengya's younger half-brother, named Xiao Fengyu. However, the Xiao and Yun families have had little contact before, so why has he suddenly come to visit today?

  "Oh?" Yun Baiyu was slightly startled, "Quickly, have a seat!"

  The guard retreated at the sound, and soon brought Xiao Feng to Yun Juan Pavilion. Xiao Yuan was about 18 or 19 years old, with clear eyebrows and eyes, a handsome and elegant appearance, indeed worthy of being the young master of a hundred-year-old family, exuding an air of refinement that made people feel comfortable. However, at this moment, he was walking hastily, his face filled with anxiety, and when he saw Yun Baiyu, he immediately knelt down and exclaimed: "An Guo Gong, save me!"

  "Hurry up and don't be polite!" Yun Baiyu hastily came forward to support him, "Fourth Master, just speak your mind!"

  Xiao Feng stood up straight, still panting slightly: "I dare to ask, Lord An Guo, where is Seventh Miss now?"

  Looking for Xiao Qi? Yun Baiyu was taken aback and subconsciously pointed to Yun Mo Ran beside him: "This is Seventh Sister..."

  "Ah? Xiao Feng was taken aback, then suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Yun Mo Ran with a thud: "Seventh Miss, save me! Now only Seventh Miss can help the Xiao family get through this disaster, I hope Seventh Miss will lend a helping hand!"

  Yun Mo stepped back involuntarily, puzzled: "Du Jie? What exactly happened?"
